What this course is about
UCAS code: W23W
Here's what University of the Arts London says about its Fashion Design: Womenswear course.
BA Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins comprises five pathways: Womenswear, Menswear, Knit, Print, and Communication. We encourage collaboration at every stage, and throughout the course you will work on projects with the other courses. As a Fashion Design program, we encourage students to break down all societal barriers and perceptions when describing gender and identity. We embrace a non-gendered approach.
The Womenswear Design pathway enables you to meet differing creative design challenges; learning the skills to express ideas and a viewpoint around a relevant theme and pushing the boundaries of traditional womenswear design. You will be encouraged to develop your design vision, become confident at communicating ideas visually on paper and through engaging with digital software, tools and platforms, and learn how to express their creativity from 2D into 3D engineered conceptual womenswear.
BA Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins is globally renowned. The course has an excellent staff team of highly experienced and diverse practitioners and researchers with international profiles who remain connected to their industry and are at the forefront of fashion. Students thrive within the lively and dynamic art school environment that differentiates fashion at Central Saint Martins from other fashion courses, working with peers and industry to strengthen their learning, understanding, and opportunities.

Mental health support was great however I feel like I wasn't supported enough by my tutors when it came to my actual work. Tutors were really busy with other students that I felt I didn't get enough time with them. Also negative feedback was given after I had submitted and not before.

Most facilities were really busy and some you had to pay for too. Loved the free fabric allowance. Library was really helpful with lots of different types of books and information.

Overall an easy going course. There wasn't an overload of work and stress which was nice. Some tutors were really helpful and others were not. Wish they taught us more on sewing too.

The actual uni was fine. Lots of different facilities however some of them could only be used by students from specific courses. Interior design and layout was great. The sewing machines and work spaces were really busy.
